It has been wild to see what were always the two most paranoid pro-Second Amendment scenarios—the government snatching people away and sending occupying armies into communities—literally happen this year, to the delight of conservatives
There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.

fuck me for believing all the bullshit about American exceptionalism I guess

I won’t stop believing tho

I still believe that this is a place for the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to be free

I still believe in the better angels of our nature

I still believe in the freedom from fear
